$10 to spectate i believe... and you wouldn't have to be there early in the morning for tech inspection. lulz.

I might be able to go in October!

Wes. BBS LMs are heavy heavy wheels. My 19's were at least 25lbs front and 26-27lbs rear. They were as heavy as VMR V710. Then Volk CE28 was super light. Even in 19's I believe they were less than 20lbs each. My current Advans feels similar to 19" CE28. Might weigh bit more but smaller diameter helps I guess? To sum it up, Volk & Advan wheels FTW!!!

Jason,
I have seen people cool their engine/intake with some ice at the drag strip but never seen one that pours ice in there. Crazy...I thought GT-R Alpha supposed to make more than 1000rwhp but in the vid it says 900ish. Can't wait for the next vid

Bluesummer · 09-13-2011, 06:49 AM

the LMs are definitely heavier than my Neez. but so far I dont feel any difference from daily driving

COMPUTER GUYS:

About a year after I got my MBP, I was starting to get the SBBOD a lot and I would have to constantly restart my computer. I thought it was my HDD that was failing so I replaced it with an SSD and things got much better. Now, I'm starting to get the SBBOD again (but nothing like before) and when that happens, my CPU is running at ~60-70%. This will happen even if I'm only running a program or two (usually Safari and itunes).

Now I'm thinking that this might be happening because I only have 2GB of ram. If I upgrade to 8GB, should it take care of the problem?

let's go Darren!!! me and you can practice launching

yes, Any Japanese wheel FTMFW!

About the video... the Gallardo was making 1050 on C16 fuel at 13psi (maxes out at 35psi!!)

The GTR, on stock tires, was making 920 on 93 pump gas... If he used C16 it would've gone above 1000 whp i'm sure of it =)

I have the SBBOD, but not often. When I check my CPU stats, this happens only when my 4GB RAM has been reduced to about 200
My cpu fan also starts going crazy and the computer gets really really hot

My new 8gb upgrade should arrive soon, so I'll let u know if it helps fix the problem

it's $20 to race... we have to be there early though so we can tech inspect the cars. your car shouldn't be a problem since it's pretty stock... Ask Warren if he can come out or if he knows of another private track day we can attend.

we'll aim for October, since i think i'm running Chuckwalla on the 25th of this month... thanks SHy for convincing me. damn you. hahaha
